310: D.O.P.E. Cider House & Winery | Youngstown, OH

The DOPE Brand

Hannah Ferguson is giving us all a reason to visit Youngstown, Ohio. Her DOPE brand is helping to introduce the city to cider like never before. The bio says that the DOPE brand is about a "Winemaker, Marketing, Event planning, other business services" but this only stays in step wit how she is keeping the door wide open for opportunity. This Winter and Spring she is busy getting her new cidery up and rolling. It is located next to Penguin Brewing Company. The two business are both revving up the neighborhood where the wildly popular Youngstown Flea [market] is located too. Expect the brewery and DOPE cidery next tood to all be open this year 2022.

The message behind DOPE

DOPE stands for Dwell on Positive Energy and Hannah radiates this vibe! Hear her story on how she got there and how she is able to stay there in this episode.

Per the DOPE website:

"DOPE isn't only a cider and wine manufacturer, but a lifestyle brand that takes pride in creating connections and experiences uniquely through cider and wine. DOPE brands LLC was established in 2017. Most importantly D.O.P.E. is about empowering underrepresented minorities in the industry as well as enthusiasts."
